Since JFJ, you don't really see many laws leaning heavily into his back turned game. Glad these two are trying to bring it in to T8. That to me is(or at least should be) a trademark of American Law. Plus, all the spinning and twirling makes for an entertaining watch.
I think Lou was "counter fishing" a bit. I'm guilty of that. It's what people do when they're not confident in their ability to deal with the opp's pressure or approach the opp and control spacing.
He was doing hop kicks and df2's at like 4 character width distances and getting whiff punished. I know personally, I've had a bad habit of doing such when under pressure, basically "hoping" to catch an opponent dashing in.
Being one of Lou’s sparring partners, he was just getting knowledge checked and ninja was dictating the pace but I BS u not this match up has definitely made Lou better, when his mixup games gets on the level of ninja dude is going to be hell to fight
Lou needs to work on combos that are simple yet reliable. Something that he can focus on other aspects of the match. Something like his spacing and positioning. Because he seems to be dropping them mostly when he's on a disadvantage.
It is skill idk what ur talking about u can tell this is Lou streets first real tekken and all he does is really play rank, his poking is terrible, mixups are bad , he has no movement skill, he doesnt side step or walk anything just hits back when he has no frame advantage and just outright no tekken iq u can tell he only plays rank
